Good afternoon everybody. I have a springfield, armory saint victor with a 5.5" barrel. It has a red on it and front and rear pop up sites. My front sight has a fiber optic in red.My rear sights have green. My dilemma is my eyes are not great and everything is blurry. Is there a really good set of pop up sites?That will kind of help me with my dilemma. Thanks very much
Bad eyes.

Im thinking glasses are your answer for the irons or maybe relying on the red dot. I founts the Trijicon dual power RMR (fiber optic and tritium) to cause less blurring than a "lit" red dot. The downside is they arent cheap

Talk to your eye doctor about your situation. Mine put me in a pair of multi-focal contact lenses that have really helped me. also, not sure if this has any bearing, but with my astigmatism I have found that switching to a optic with a green dot set to its smallest diameter has helped.
I really like to thank everybody for their replies. But I think I might have found the issue. Since it is a fairly new gun and I was kind of excited. I think I wasn't paying attention as to me.Looking through my glasses through my bifocals.Instead of the top part of my glasses. When I got home, I decided to just look at the rifle and see what's going on.And once I look through the biopocals, everything was a lot clearer. This is what happens when you turn sixty five, and you decide to stop drinking beers and stop drinking coffee. I'll post up next time when I tell you.How it goes when I start looking through the proper part of my classes
You are correct.I have a feeling that's what my problem was. I'll be shooting again very soon.And I'll let everybody know how it went. Thanks again

When we learned that the bosses were reviewing the messages we sent between cars, a few of us started sending gibberish between real messages and spelling words backwards just to F with themYou might be starting a trend.

Hi,
I've been bloviating on this forum about these SSP Top Focal shooting glasses since I bought my first pair. I'm just a customer, not a paid spokesman. But these work so well for me that I just have to share the love and hope it helps someone else. I've bought a couple of sets from the link below.
Wow, that's a big URL. I hope it links properly. Anyway, like it says in the video on that page, the bifocal lens is on the top of the shooting glasses so you don't have to tilt your head back to use the reader lens to see the front sights clearly. The top focal lens lets you see your iron sights clearly from a natural stance. It works great for me and iron sights. It might work for others too.
The first set I bought was top focal on the right side and a clear lens on the left. I don't think they have those on the website any more. It was called the "Premier" kit. I contacted the owner and he still has a few of those kits left. But he says once the "Ultra" kit came out, it became the best seller. The Ultra kit can be configured with top or bottom lenses, either or both. IOW one bifocal on the top and one bifocal on the bottom, or both bifocals on top, etc.
When I got new prescription glasses I asked my opthamologist if I could get a bifocal on top but they were unable to make that kind of lens. Hence the SSP at the range.
I have a couple of optic pistols with the Holosun 507 installed. For some reason that dot looks clear without any corrective lenses. One of those is in my carry rotation. I don't want to ask the bad guy to wait while I put on my special shooting glasses.
OK, I'll shut up now. Thanks for putting up with me.
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff
